“Whistler Blackcomb and Squaw Valley share a great number of qualities including unmatched, diverse big mountain terrain, a history uniquely inclusive of hosting the Winter Olympics and brands that are quintessentially about adventure, exploration and discovery,” said Andy Wirth, president and chief executive officer of Squaw Valley. “The Ultimate 7 provides our shared customer base, in all of California and North America, with terrific value and a way to easily and affordably access both legendary mountain experiences.”

The new Ultimate 7 Card allows skiers and riders to seamlessly explore over 12,000 acres of the most coveted terrain in North America, from wide, open slopes for beginners, to unmatched steeps and bowls for experts.

“Whistler Blackcomb is thrilled to partner with iconic Squaw Valley on this new card,” said Dave Brownlie, president and chief operating officer at Whistler Blackcomb. “The United States is a key destination market for Whistler with quick direct access into Vancouver. We look forward to sharing our No.1 ranked resort this coming season with our American neighbors.”
